380-40-144-00-001000

Introduction

380-40-144-00-001000 is a modular header specifically designed to provide electrical and mechanical connectivity between two systems. This type of rectangular connector headers, commonly known as pin header or socket header connectors, is widely popular in both consumer electronics and industrial applications due to its ease of use and reliable connection established.

Construction

379-40-144-00-001000 pin header connectors typically consist of metallic contacts, signal carriers (such as cables or boards), and a metal cover or housing. For a complete connection, two connectors are typically used to form a pair of male and female connector. The connector may also contain wire termination (terminals) and mount holes.

The metallic contact is usually a conductive metal such as copper or brass, and they come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and types. Majority of the existing pin headers use stamped and angled contacts, though there are also some variants with formed contacts. The pitch (distance between adjacent contacts) range between 2.54mm to 0.25mm.

379-40-144-00-001000 pin header connectors also come with different insulation materials for protection during connection and usage. Types of insulation include polypropylene, polyester and other thermoplastics.

Application Field and working principle

The 379-40-144-00-001000 pin header connectors are used mainly in wired connection between two boards or other structures. It establishes electrical connections between circuits in a wide range of consumer electronics and electronic equipment, such as computers, printers, telecommunication systems, digital cameras, music players, automobile dashboard, military and aerospace-related devices and instrumentation.

The working principle of a pin header connector is simple. To establish the physical connection between the two mating components, the male plug of the header is inserted into the female plug of the header, this creates a physical and electrical connection. This connection is completed and established when it is snappled securely and locks into the frame or set. The contact between the pins provides a conducting path for current flow where the current can enter and leave the circuit or components.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the 379-40-144-00-001000 Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Specialty Pin is widely used in a variety of electronic applications due to its simplicity in application and reliable connection it provides. It typically consists of metallic contacts, signal carriers, insulation materials and other features that make it a suitable mate in the connection between components. The working principle is also quite simple and straight forward, and it is capable of providing reliable connections.
